STUDENTS OCCUPY
NUMBERED SEATS
No Outsiders Allowed in Stu
dent Section Thanksgiving.
SOUTH SIDE RESERVED
Students Sit by Classes Exchange
Books for Seats Next Week.
At the Carolina-Virginia game next
Thursday the entire center of the bleach
ers on the South side of Emerson Field
will be reserved for the students of the
University and each student will be re
quired to exchange his passbook slip at
a specified time during the first part of
next week for a numbered seat in this
section. No outsiders will be allowed
in the students section, thus putting the
damper on the hopes of a number of
students who have been in hopes of tak
Ing their girls to the south side of the
field.
The student passbook slips will be good
only In exchange for one of these num
bared seats on the south side and will not
be received either in exchange for seats
in any other part of the stands or at the
gate for general admission the day of the
game. In the interest of better and
more organized cheering no outsiders will
be allowed in the students bleachers.
This ruling has been decided upon by
the committee on the Virginia game as
the result of the lack of uniformity and
the disorganization' caused in the past
by both the presence of outsiders among
the students and the scattering of the
student body.
The students will be issued their seats
according to their classes. In the cen
ter of the student section all the seats
will be occupied by co-eds and seniors,
Immediately to the right of the Seniors
and co-eds will be the Juniors and Soph
bmores. The Freshmen will sit to the
immediate left of the Seniors, while all
graduate students and professionals will
be issued in exchange for the passbooks
iors and Sophomores. These tickets will
be issued in evchange for the passbooks
during the first part of next week at the
office of the Graduate Manager of Ath
letics in ' Alumni building. A day has
been set on which each of the classes
shall make the exchange. Mr. C T.

OUTCLASS DUKE TEAM
Entire Squad Shows Up Good and
Gives Promise of Another
Successful Season.
Carolina's cross country team van
quished the strong aggregation from
Duke in a . three mile run held here
Tuesday afternoon, the Tar Heel runners
winninsr three first places and making the
low tally of 25 points while the visitors
count totaled 32. The victory is a sig
nificant, one as Duke had previously de
feated Washington and Lee by a sud-
stantial margin.
Elliott. Pritchett, and Daniels were the
three Carolina men who led the field Bnd
upon whom the credit, for the victory
falls.' The first two were stars on last
year's freshman team while Daniels was
a
member of the varsity squad last sea-
son
All three showed the results of
hard training and displayed perfect form,
running the three miles in an even fifteen
minutes. The entire squad looked, good,
however, , and their running gives great
promise of another highly succesful sea
son. The men participating in the meet in
the order they came in are as follows;
Elliott. Pritchett, and Daniels, au oi
Carolina; Mabry, Duke; Hodge, Duke;
Tuttle. Duke: Henderson, Carolina; Holt
Duke; Ervln, Duke; Hester, Duke; Kale,
Duke; Thorpe, Carolina; and Reagan,

THE CAROLINA PLAYMAKERS THEATRE
The Carolina Playmakers Theatre has been remodeled from the
old Law Building during the past year. Though small, it is by
far the most modernly equipped theatre in the state for the pro-'
duction of folk plays. The Playmakers will make their initial ap
pearance in it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights of the coming week. It will be dedicated at that time.
Carolina To Play
State On Nov. 30
By virtue of the decision of
the N. C. State College athletic
council in acceptance of the Uni
versity's offer Tuesday night,
Carolina will meet the West Ra
leigh college in their annual foot
ball game here October 30, 1926,
and will play them at Raleigh
October 29, 1927. i
The announcement of this de
cision of acceptance of the of
fer of the University has term
inated a controversy of nearly
two months duration. Just be
fore the State game this year,
October 15, State officials ex
pressed the desire of playing
Carolina later in the season, giv
ing the reason that the early
date gave them insufficient time
to prepare for the major con
test However, Carolina was un
able to offer any dates in No
vember because of her games
with V. M. L, Davidson and Vir
ginia, but State steadily main
tained that they would have to
have a November date, much to
the chagrin of the University of
ficials. Prof. Hobbs, chairman of the
University Athletic committee,
had forwarded the State officials
another telegram renewing the
offer of the dates of October 15,
23, and 30, a short while before
the State officials accepted the
date of October 30. State in giv
ing the University this date, can
celled their game with V. P. I,
but they hope to arrange anoth
er date with that institution.

course. . ' v
Dedication Exercises of

lina Playmakers theatre building will be

NEW DIRECTORY OUT
AND IS DISTRIBUTED
New Complete Directory , Replaces
Temporary One Is Considered One
of Best Ever Published Here.
The new directory is out. Copies ar
rived at the "Y" office about 9:30 o'clock
Thursday night and by 12, members of
the Freshman Friendship Council had
distributed them over the campus to all
dormitory rooms and to some of the fra
ternity houses.
This directory is considered, to be one
of the best ever published, in that it is
in a more complete and correct form
than ever before. Last year it was a
directory of students and faculty mem
bers only but this year it includes the
entire clerical force also. That is, it in
cludes all secretarial, clerical, and other
office staffs not listed under administra
tive officers. The subject taught, home
address, office address, office phone, and
home phone of each faculty member and
officer of the administration is given.
Besides the name and initials of each
student and his room address, his home
town, county in which the town is lo
cated, church denomination, and class
are also given. A city directory of the
residents of Chapel Hill is also included.
It is a very attractive directory, being
bound ' in a substantial cover and on
heavy paper. The publication and or
ganization of the book was ubder the
auspices of the'"Y". It would have
been out more than a week ago if the
printers' had been able to get to work on
the job right away; nevertheless, it was
put in the hands of the students about
ten days earlier this year than last All
were distributed free, a copy going to
every room in every dormitory, to every
office on the campus, every fraternity
house, in town, every home in town,
every business house and office, and to
every individual who has special need
for it and- who calls for it. Any person
who needs .one can obtain it by calling at
the "Y" office. However, the number of
copies is limited and it Is urged that each
student keep up with his copy and not
lose it because he may not be able to ob
tain another later on in the year when
he wants it
Directory cards were filled out by all
students when' they registered at the be
ginning of the present quarter. From
these cards a directory was soon made
up and only a few days after classes
began they could be found at the en
trance of each dormitory and had been
placed in every office on the Hill, These
directories were published for imtnedl-

ed for the performance will be presented

is a romance of University life on the
eve of the outbreak of the Civil War, by
Frances Gray. The scene of this play
is laid on the portico of Smith Hall,
which is now the theatre building. The
University dances were formerly held
in this building; the last were held in
1861 on the night that Sumter was fired
upon. " Quaire Medicine is a new play by
Paul Greene and one of the best things
he has ever done. The play is a comedy
concerning a country doctor. Yon Side
o' Sunk Creek is a mountain play by
Martha Boswell, of Brevard, N. C.

BROOKS SPEAKS
ON RURAL MIND
Address Made to N. C. Club At
Quarterly Smoker.
EMPHASIZES ISOLATION
Narrowness Is the Bane of Country
Life, Says Speaker.
The regular quarterly smoker given by
he North Carolina club was held Monday
night in 112 Saunders Hall. The speak
er for the evening was Lee M. Brooks,
a graduate student and a resident of
Chapel Hill who read a paper discuss
ing the rural mind. The subject of his
thesis was "The Rural Mind Is It a
Myth?" A large number of members
attended the smoker which is given free
by the club each quarter. ;
Mr. Brooks said that man is born an
individual, he lives an Individual, and
he dies an individual. The rural mind
in the exact scientific sense does not ex
ist but that there has been and still lin
gers a rural attitude of mind born and
bred in the open spaces; and beneficently
it has breathed into our national life a
wholesome fragrance which we associ
ate with rocks and rills, woods and tem
pled hills. He read several quotations
which point out the existence of a rural
mind conditioned by the place and type
of activity and by the quality and quan
tity of human contacts which prevail.
He noted that those writers did not
claim for the farmer a difference in kind,
but a difference in degree or intensity of
mental expression. ' The curiosity of the
city man is the same stuff, the same
quality as that of the farmer, but the
weave of the fabric is different, the en
vironment Inducing a specialized expres
sion of curiosity in each case.
Quoting the speaker in regard to char
acteristics of environment, the following
conclusions are developed!
"The outstanding characteristic of the
rural environment'has been its isolation,
This has been the bane of the country
life and the condition which has fostered
the traditional narrow point of view, a
poor capacity for co-operation, and re
sultant ; dissatisfaction. Probably the
worst effect of isolation is fear, which
operates .freely, in jural, life and which
is the underlying reason for much of
the farmer's reluctance to yield to pro
gressive measures. The important ele
ment of play, especially team play, has
been significantly absent In rural regions.
On the other hand, self-reliance, certain
kinds of initiative, a family loyalty, a
democratic spirit, a helpful generosity,
a sort of mutual aid seldom practiced in
the city, all these are more or less the
products of isolation." It is probably
true, according to Mr. Brooks, that the
unfavorable aspects of isolation far out
weigh its benefits as it has affected its
rural person. No one can endure iso
lation for very long at the time. It
affects the mental state of any person
enormously and carried to an extreme is
a dreadful punishment of the prison code
known as solitary confinement. He de
clared that human nature objects to iso
lation and consciously or unconsciously
takes steps to get rid of it. He pointed
out that rural folk like to visit by the
roadside or in the field they like to take
note of every passer-by and to speculate
about him, compensating for the soli
tariness of their work in various ways.
They fix up and got to town, to the lo
cal fair, to the Chautauqua, to church

VARIED RECITALS GIVEN
BY PROFESSOR JONES
Director of Music At St. Mary's Pres
ents Diversified Program At
Chapel of Cross Sunday.
Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock an or
gan recital was given at the Chapel of
the Cross by William H. Jones, A. A
G. C who is director of music at St
Mary's School in Raleigh. This recital
proved equally enjoyable as the one pre-
ented a few weeks ago by Mr. Kelly of
the University English department. Mr.
Jones program was short but compre
hensive, choosing as it did examples of
work from widely varying parts of the
musical field.
The opening number was Sonata in D
minor, by Rheinberg. With the melodi
ous appeal common to all the composi
tions of this artist of structure the so
nata reverberated through the silent
chapel. Running irregularly through it
was a plaintive minor strain that only
served to enhance the almost visible
beauty of the central theme. From the
swift, semi-discordant rush of the char
acteristic Agitate to the inspiring reso
nance of the Cantilene the difficult so
nata was rendered with faultless pre
cision, perfect valuation being given to
the key notes and important passage;.
Metodie in E, by Rachmaninoff, was
typical of what this most remarkable
of contemporary composers accomplishes

SPEAKS ON NEW YOUTH
Prominent Speaker Is'- Also Teacher,
Editor, and, Author.
. In addition to Dr. Carl Van Doren's
lecture in Gerrard Hall, Friday night,
the University Glee Club, just return
ed from a successful eastern tour, has
been secured for a twenty minutes con
cert Immediately preceding the lecturer,
it has been announced. The Glee Club,
concert will begin at 8:30 o'clock under
the direction of Prof. John Paul Weaver
with two sections of their repertoire
used on the eastern North Carolina tour.
Dr. Van Doren, internationally famou,
as a writer, teacher, and editor, will fol
low the musical club with his address on
"The Pioneers and the New Youth." The
eminent professor comes as a University
lecturer, so that no admission will be
charged for the combined concert and
address. '
The topic selected by Van Doren for.
his lecture here promises much in the
way of entertainment and is expected to
shed new light on a subject which haj
had a great deal of publicity in recent
years. His discussion of the modern age
with its restless movements noticeable
among American youth is expected to
trace this restlessness and "modernness"
back to the pioneer American spirit. He
will show the origin of the modern un
rest and how it is a natural outgrowth
of our past
With Dr. . Van Doren teaching and
editing have only been a means of livli
hood, for he is primarily interested in
writing and lecturing. He is the author
of "The Life of Thomas Love Peacock,"
the translator of Hebel's "Judith" and
editor of the widely known "Cambridge
History of American Literature." His
latest work is a selection of short essays,
sketches and reviews called "The Roving
Critic." He has contributed to the At
lantic Monthly, and at the present time
is writing a series of monthly studies of
American contemporaries for the Century
magazine of which he is the literary ed--itor.
Glenn Frank, editor of Century mag
azine, who delivered the commencement
address to the University of North Caro
lina graduates last spring, has this to say
in recommending the lecturers "Dr. Van
Doren has one of the most interesting
minds I have known. He indulges in none
of the stock tricks of the1 orator, but he
